Casual Kitchen Dining

The kitchen is often described as the heart of the home, particularly when cooking, eating, and gathering can be done in the same space. This kitchen-focused eating area gives the homeowners no excuse for not staying together. Built-in seating and nooks above the casual dining area lend plenty of seating and storage space to the kitchen, while trim and molding details offer a traditional old-world appeal. Blue on the Roman shades offers a hint of pattern and ties-in with the color scheme in the rest of the space.
